The Bloggies

Voting is now open for the sixth annual Webblog Awards, also known as the Bloggies.  I’d suggest Post Secret as deserving of a vote for Weblog of the Year; it’s nominated in several other categories as well.  Also, WordPress itself has a nomination for best Weblog application.

I think my favorite (obsessive) photo sharing site flickr is also up for something.

I’m going to have to say The Smoking Gun deserves a vote. Not only is it one of my guilty pleasures to see who got busted today or cruise through the mugshot archive, but this rather non-serious site got big props recently by uncovering James Frey’s million little lies in his Oprah-touted best-seller “A Million Little Pieces”. I wasn’t ready for The Smoking Gun to get all journalistic on me, but I was impressed.

One of these days, I think we should hold our own personal blogging awards. We’ve certainly got enough great writers here.
